Because it's a stupid hack that should never be necessary:  the test
cleans up after itself in a "finally" clause.  It only looks
attractive right now because an earlier bug caused the Windows boxes
to swap themselves to death, and the "finally" clause never executed.
So, what the heck, sure, I checked that in :-)
